Naezy reveals Gully Boy wasn’t a mirror of his entire life

Thursday afternoon in the Bigg Boss OTT house brought some throwback moments for Naezy filled with nostalgia! While talking to Armaan, Sai and Sana Sultan, Naezy opened up about the real story behind Gully Boy.
Contrary to popular belief, he revealed that Gully Boy wasn’t a mirror of his entire life. “About 40% of the story was inspired by my life, while the remaining 60% was fiction,” he clarified. “My father never had a second marriage, but the emotional dynamic shown with him was real.”
Reflecting on his early days, Naezy shared, “Practicing in trains and creating songs on my iPad—that was all real. I lived in a chawl, but I never felt lacking in anything.”
When asked about meeting Ranveer Singh for the first time, Naezy said, “I actually mistook him for my fan! He greeted me with ‘Kya bolti public?’ and he was in his character. When I realised it’s Ranveer, he gave me a warm hug.”
Naezy credited Ranveer for his comeback to the Indian audience, recalling a poignant moment during the music launch of Gully Boy. |Seeing me on stage with Ranveer, my father couldn’t hold back his tears,” he revealed.
Despite the fame that followed, Naezy admitted his regret: “I couldn’t fully capitalise on the fame due to family challenges. That’s my biggest regret.”
The afternoon light faded, Naezy’s words painted a vivid picture of his journey, showcasing both the highs and the challenges of his life beyond the silver screen.
